Not My Game
I told my mother a lie,
I did not want her to cry
It is all she ever does,
For here only the pain goes.
Why does life never change,
Why do I keep doing the things I do?
When I do I forget I should not,
I only start thinking right
When I am done with much wrong
When the right is gone.
Happiness is not my game
I crave for it much,
Sadness is mine, who needs it!
It has this grip on me,
When it takes me,
I am like possessed,
It gives me phoney laughter,
When I laugh It reminds me
Happiness is not my game.
I really wish I were better,
I wish somewhat I wasn't me,
I love my mother much,
I wish I didn't hurt her
Hurt myself and everyone around.
